Local know-how

Selling a house in Texas: what to know

Texas is big enough that "the market" is really several. Demand in the Austin and North Dallas suburbs moves differently from Houston, San Antonio, El Paso or a small town in West Texas, so a fair offer starts with sales near your street, not a statewide average.

Texas has no state income tax, and local property taxes make up much of the difference, so holding a house you don't live in gets expensive quickly. Owners carrying a vacant or inherited property, or paying for a house they've already moved out of, often find a quick sale costs less than another year of taxes, insurance and upkeep.

  • Foundation movement

    Expansive clay soils around Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio swell and shrink with the weather, and slab foundations crack. We buy with the foundation as it is; no engineer's report needed.

  • Storms, hail and flooding

    Hail-damaged roofs, hurricane damage along the Gulf Coast and flooding around Houston are common reasons Texans sell as-is. Tell us about any open insurance claim and we'll factor it in.

  • Freeze and water damage

    Hard freezes like the February 2021 storm burst pipes statewide and can leave hidden water damage or mold. We price that in instead of asking you to open walls.

  • Seller's disclosure notice

    Texas sellers of most homes complete a disclosure notice of known defects. Selling as-is doesn't change that duty, but it does mean those defects won't derail the sale.

How it works

How to sell your Texas house for cash

Three steps from first contact to closing, wherever the property is in Texas.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us about the property

    Share the address, the property type and the best way to reach you. It takes about two minutes, and there is no obligation.

  2. Step 2

    Get a written cash offer

    We look at the property and recent sales nearby, then send a fair cash offer: within 24 hours for homes and 72 hours for land and commercial property.

  3. Step 3

    Close when you're ready

    Pick the closing date. We close through a licensed title company or closing attorney in as little as 7 days for homes (10 for other property), and you are paid at closing.

Start with your address

Compare your options

Cash offer vs. listing your Texas house

Both can be the right choice. Here is how they differ on the things that usually decide it.

Cash offer from Serden Listing with an agent
Time to an offer 24 hours for homes, 72 hours for other property Weeks or months on the market
Closing As little as 7 days, or on the date you choose Usually 30 to 60 days after an offer is accepted
Repairs and cleaning None. We buy as-is Often expected before listing or after the inspection
Showings and open houses None Many, on the buyer's schedule
Agent commissions None Often 5% to 6% of the price, depending on what you negotiate
Closing costs We cover standard closing costs Seller usually pays a share
Financing risk None. We pay cash A buyer's loan can fall through late
Price A fair cash price that reflects repairs and our risk Potentially higher, before commissions, repairs and months of holding costs

Listing can bring a higher price for a house in move-in condition when you have time to wait. A cash sale is built for speed, certainty and property that needs work. Compare the offer with what you would net after commissions, repairs and months of mortgage, taxes and utilities.

Sell with confidence

How to vet any Texas cash buyer, including us

Most cash buyers are legitimate, but the industry has its share of lowball bait-and-switch offers and companies that never intended to buy. These checks protect you whoever you sell to.

  1. Get the offer in writing It should show the price, any fees or deductions, who pays which closing costs, and the closing date.
  2. Close with a licensed title company or attorney Look them up yourself. They hold the money and record the deed, so neither side handles the funds directly.
  3. Never pay to get an offer A legitimate buyer doesn't charge an application, inspection or "processing" fee up front.
  4. Ask who is actually buying Some companies sign a contract and then sell it to another investor. Ask whether the company on the contract will be the one closing.
  5. Ask for proof of funds A cash buyer should be able to show the money is available before you take the house off the market.
  6. Compare it with listing Weigh the offer against what you would net after commissions, repairs, closing costs and months of carrying the property.

Any condition, any situation

We buy Texas houses in any condition

From a dated house in Dallas to an inherited property in San Antonio that nobody has lived in for years: you don't have to fix it or clear it out first.

  • Inherited or probate property

    Sell a house you inherited without clearing it out, fixing it up or managing it from far away.

  • Behind on payments

    A quick sale can pay off the loan before a foreclosure finishes and protect what equity is left.

  • Divorce or separation

    A clean cash sale with one closing date makes it simpler to divide the proceeds and move on.

  • Relocating

    Moving for work or family? Close before you go, or after, without carrying two housing payments.

  • Tired landlord

    Sell a rental with tenants in place, overdue repairs or a lease that still has months to run.

  • Major repairs

    Fire, water, foundation, roof or mold damage: we price the work in so you don't have to do it.

  • Downsizing or retiring

    Sell the family home on your schedule and leave behind anything you don't want to move.

  • Liens, back taxes or code violations

    Liens and unpaid taxes are paid from the sale at closing, and open violations become our problem.

Questions and answers

Questions about selling a house in Texas

How fast can I sell my house for cash in Texas?

Request an offer and we send a written cash offer for a Texas home within 24 hours (72 hours for land and commercial property). Once you accept and the title is clear, most homes close in as little as 7 days. If you need longer, you choose the date.

When are foreclosure sales held in Texas?

On the first Tuesday of the month, at the county courthouse. Most Texas foreclosures don't go through court, and once a notice of sale has been posted, the auction can be about three weeks away. If you've received one, contact us right away; a cash closing can often happen before the sale date.

Do I need to probate an inherited house in Texas before I sell it?

Usually the title has to be in the heirs' names first. In Texas that can happen through regular probate, a simpler muniment of title when there's a will and no unpaid debts other than real estate liens, or sometimes an affidavit of heirship the title company accepts. A probate attorney can tell you which fits, and we can make an offer while it's in progress.

Can I sell a Texas house with foundation problems for cash?

Yes. Foundation repairs are one of the most common reasons Texas sales fall apart after inspection. We make the offer with the foundation as it is, so there's no repair bid to negotiate and no buyer to lose.

Can I sell my Texas house if I'm facing foreclosure?

Usually, yes, until the foreclosure sale. Most Texas foreclosures happen outside court under the mortgage's power-of-sale clause, so the time between the first notice and the sale can be short. The sooner you act, the more options you have. Selling for cash can pay off the loan and stop the foreclosure. A HUD-approved housing counselor (free or low cost) or a local real estate attorney can walk you through every option.

Do you buy houses in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio and smaller Texas towns?

Yes. We buy in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso, Arlington and Corpus Christi, and in suburbs, small towns and rural areas across Texas. Location affects the offer, not whether we make one.

What does it cost to sell my Texas house to Serden?

Nothing out of pocket. There are no commissions or fees, and we cover the standard closing costs. Any mortgage, liens or unpaid property taxes are paid from the sale at closing, and the rest is yours.
